[](#aniklaravel-backpack-extension)

In the table view of [backpack/crud](https://packagist.org/packages/backpack/crud) list operation, if a column exists in database table, it's by default [searchable and orderable](https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/CRUD/blob/e488a93661220c64259df96665e095b98372f138/src/app/Library/CrudPanel/Traits/Columns.php#L380-L381)unless instructed otherwise. Also, to add a **column** or **field** to the operation, it is required to pass an array. In PHP, array keys are case-sensitive and this make it tedious when adding a field or column. This package allows class based imperative approach over passing the array. So no more tedious, repetitive typing game matching the exact array keys. **BE FORGETFUL** sometimes? 🤷

Documentation
=============

[](#documentation)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

To install the package, run

> composer require anik/laravel-backpack-extension

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Extending controller

[](#extending-controller)

Instead of extending the `\Backpack\CRUD\app\Http\Controllers\CrudController`, use `\Anik\LaravelBackpack\Extension\Controllers\CrudController` in your controllers.

---

### Adding Column

[](#adding-column)

To instantiate a **Column**

- `new \Anik\LaravelBackpack\Extension\Columns\Column(string $name, [?string $label = null])`
- `\Anik\LaravelBackpack\Extension\Columns\Column::create(string $name, [?string $label = null])`
- `\Anik\LaravelBackpack\Extension\Columns\Column::ID([?string $label = null], [?string $name = null])` - To create an ID type column

To add the column(s) from the controller

- For a single column, `$this->registerColumn($column)`
- For multiple columns, `$this->registerColumns($columns)`

By default, all Column instances are **not orderable** and **not searchable**.

#### Example

[](#example)

```
use Anik\LaravelBackpack\Extension\Columns\Column;
use Anik\LaravelBackpack\Extension\Controllers\CrudController;

class AccountCrudController extends CrudController
{
    public function setupListOperation () {
        $columns = [
            Column::ID()->orderable(), // Only this column will be orderable
            Column::create('email')->searchable(), // Makes this field searchable
            Column::create('name')->searchable(
                fn ($q, $column, $term) => strlen($term = trim($term)) >= 3 ? $q->where('name', 'LIKE', sprintf('%%%s%%', $term)) : null)
            ), // Also makes this field searchable with custom logic
        ];

        $this->registerColumns($columns);
        $this->registerColumn((new Column('is_verified', 'Verified'))->setType('boolean'));

### Relation

[](#relation)

If a Column or Field points to an Eloquent relationship, then you can use `Anik\LaravelBackpack\Extension\Relations\Relation`.

To instantiate a **Relation**

- `new \Anik\LaravelBackpack\Extension\Relations\Relation(stirng $type, string $method, [?string $attribute = null])`
- `new \Anik\LaravelBackpack\Extension\Relations\CustomRelation::create(string $type, string $method, [?string $attribute = null])`
- `new \Anik\LaravelBackpack\Extension\Relations\BelongsTo::create(string $method, [?string $attribute = null])`
- `new \Anik\LaravelBackpack\Extension\Relations\HasOne::create(string $method, [?string $attribute = null])`
- `new \Anik\LaravelBackpack\Extension\Relations\BelongsTo::BelongsToMany(string $method, [?string $attribute = null])`
- `new \Anik\LaravelBackpack\Extension\Relations\HasOne::HasMany(string $method, [?string $attribute = null])`

Parameters:

- `$method` - The method name of the relationship in the **eloquent model**.
- `$attribute` - The **field/column/attribute** of the related eloquent model.
- `$type` - Used by backpack to pick the **view** to show the value calculated from the relationship.

The package provides 4 relations out-of-the-box which uses the **type** suggested by Backpack.

- `HasOne`, `BelongsTo` - Type: **select**
- `HasMany`, `BelongsToMany` - Type: **select\_multiple**

If you want a customized Relationship, you can use `\Anik\LaravelBackpack\Extension\Relations\CustomRelation`.

#### Example

[](#example-4)

```
use Anik\LaravelBackpack\Extension\Columns\Column;
use Anik\LaravelBackpack\Extension\Controllers\CrudController;
use Anik\LaravelBackpack\Extension\Fields\Field;
use Anik\LaravelBackpack\Extension\Relations\BelongsTo;
use Anik\LaravelBackpack\Extension\Relations\HasMany;

class AccountCrudController extends CrudController
{
    public function setupListOperation () {
        $columns = [
            // Other columns
            Column::create('phone')->related(HasMany::create('phones', 'number')),
        ];

        $this->registerColumns($columns);
    }

    public function setupCreateOperation() {
        $fields = [
            // Other fields
            Field::create('country_id', 'Country')->related(BelongsTo::create('country', 'name')),
        ];

        $this->registerFields($fields);
    }
}
```

#### Available methods

[](#available-methods-4)

- `setValueResolver(Closure $resolver)` - Set a closure which will be responsible to calculate the value for field/column

#### Note

[](#note-4)

Only **CustomRelation** class uses `\Anik\LaravelBackpack\Extension\Extensions\Attributable` trait. Check [Attributable](#attributable-trait) section.

---

### Attributable trait

[](#attributable-trait)

The **Attributable** trait allows classes to save and retrieve attributes in array format. Classes that use the trait will have access to the following methods.

- `addAttribute(string $key, mixed $value, bool $mergeRecursive = false)`
- `addAttributes(array $attributes, bool $mergeRecursive = false)`
- `unset(string $key)`
- `toArray(): array`
- `$mergeRecursive` indicates to if merge should be done using **array\_merge** vs **array\_merge\_recursive**.
- `addAttribute`, `addAttributes`, `unset` methods allows **dot notation** based keys when **adding** or **unset**ting values.

#### Example

[](#example-5)

```
use Anik\LaravelBackpack\Extension\Fields\Field;

$field = Field::create('name');

$field->addAttribute('attributes.readonly', 'readonly'); // ['attributes' => ['readonly' => 'readonly']]
// $field->addAttribute('attributes.disabled', 'disabled');  // w/o the parameter [mergeRecursive: true] -> ['attributes' => ['disabled' => 'disabled']]
$field->addAttribute('attributes.disabled', 'disabled', true);  // ['attributes' => ['readonly' => 'readonly', 'disabled' => 'disabled']]
$field->addAttributes(['wrapper.class' => 'col-md-12'], true);

$field->addAttributes(['wrapper' => ['another' => ['key' => 'value']]], true);
// $field->addAttributes(['wrapper.another.key' => 'value'], true); // Alternative implementation of the above line
/**
 * STRUCTURE: $field->toArray();
 *
 * [
 *      'attributes' => [
 *          'readonly' => 'readonly',
 *          'disabled' => 'disabled'
 *      ],
 *      'wrapper' => [
 *          'class' => 'col-md-12',
 *          'another' => [
 *              'key' => 'value'
 *          ]
 *      ]
 * ]
 */

$field->unset('wrapper.another');
/**
 * STRUCTURE: $field->toArray();
 *
 * [
 *      'attributes' => [
 *          'readonly' => 'readonly',
 *          'disabled' => 'disabled'
 *      ],
 *      'wrapper' => [
 *          'class' => 'col-md-12'
 *      ]
 * ]
 */
```
